And a BIG shoutout to @ScooterSoftware I've been using Beyond Compare since 2007, and never left my side ever since :3 I use it to backup my data across local/cloud/SSH/Ext HDDs, compare/verify photos, music, and docs/pdfs, even helped me detect early HDD bit rot! GET IT NOW!

Looking through the latest @ScooterSoftware Beyond Compare changelog, MANY bug fixes and other things that I noticed a while back and thought it was a ME problem and I didn't know how to do it right. Turns out I wasn't crazy and maybe should've just submitted a bug report 🥹💗

@KyleMilnes Thank you for the suggestions, I'll add them to our internal feature request list. The current version of Beyond Compare will launch a file comparison (Text Compare, Table Compare, etc.) if you double click an item in Comparison Results, but doesn't support other actions.

@ScooterSoftware Feature request. It would be neat to be able to reveal a selected file in the main view from comparison results popup? I could imagine a right click context menu with a few file operations could be useful.
